The three-star Acta Splendid (part of the Acta hotel group, which has nice three- and four-stars all over Europe) is in a nice residential area of Barcelona, on the edge of the gay barrio, and close to the university. The quiet and well-maintained convenience of this hotel makes it a great option for business travelers.
The 43 rooms are not exactly, um, splendid, but they are very comfortable and stocked full of amenities. All rooms follow the same code of style, decorated in dark wood and navy blues, some with cute sofa beds and small living room areas. There are safes, Wi-Fi access, minibars, and televisions (with Pay-Per-View, natch) in every room, making the Splendid a perfect place to relax after a long day of sightseeing.
Decorated in peach-color stone tiles, the Splendid's bathrooms are sizable. All have bathtubs. The best rooms in the hotel are the front rooms with large windows looking over Calle Muntaner. Other rooms in the back have strange views of the less-than-attractive interior courtyard.
Splendid is a few blocks from bus and metro connections. Calle Muntaner has some nice restaurants and cafés, and the Raval, a five-minute walk from the hotel, features loads of nice restaurants.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Acta Splendid neighborhood
A walk on the west side of La Rambla will take you through the intriguing, densely populated (but less heavily touristed) streets of El Raval. During the last century, El Raval became home to the poor and working-class slums, crammed to overcapacity and teeming with problems. Recent urban planning efforts, however, have benefited the neighborhood enormously, though some petty crimes and prostitution still exist. Today, El Raval offers some of the most interesting spots in the city: open-air markets, legit old eateries, and trendy new bars and cafés.
